If there is something I have learned to master in 2018 is to listen to your gut feeling. We are so clouded by the act that people put up when you first meet them without actually looking to feel that person's energy and see what vibe they bring out. Have you ever been close to someone and just feel such restlessness or sudden sadness? That is you picking up their energies and if you are not careful you can become like those people whose energies you absorb.
There is a proverb that says that you are the company which you keep, its not like the people you associate with teach you to be like them, you automatically just absorb their energies and viola, you are exactly like them. Birds of the same feather flock together right? Exactly that.
Imagine being a person who has just decided that I will never drink alcohol again then you start hanging out with drunkards who are ever telling you Bernah, why dont you just try this drink, it is very sweet next thing you are hooked to the alcohol and it will take you exactly 2 decades or more to just get rid of that addiction. However if you get to look inside of you and reboot your system, you will realize that you are not like them. You never really enjoy to clubs, you would rather be at home be in your underwear and watch The blacklist from morning till night and also find out 1000 ways to make an income instead of spending it unnecessarily on alcohol and also discover your God given gifts of writing and entrepreneurship.
Yesterday, I watched a You tube clip on a man called Ted Williams who just got addicted to crack cocaine because of the company he kept. He ended up losing everything because of that addiction which drove him to spend his hard earned money on drugs. When the money was finished, he started stealing and robbing shops and selling his body and pimping out his girlfriend just to feed his addiction. All because of one bad friend who just gave him that. Sometimes we have to be very careful in who we trust with our lives because a lot of people on this earth are not happy for your success. That man Ted Williams has such a golden voice for radio that you would think its computerized but because of one wrong move he ended up on the street. Luckily for him, someone found him and recorded him and shared his clip on the internet and he got a second chance to life. He is back on his feet again.
He is one of the favored people. Grace found him, but no everyone can be that lucky. You can become like the company you keep but you may end up losing your life and sanity in the process and you will not be given a second for any of those. We should always be careful and listen to the energy the person gives and make judgment on that.
